-
Heating Elements: When you turn on the stove, electricity flows through metal heating elements under the cooktop or inside the oven. These elements resist the electrical flow and get hot.
-
Heat Transfer: This heat is transferred to your pots, pans, or the inside of the oven, allowing you to boil, fry, simmer, bake, or roast food.
-
Temperature Control: Controls (knobs, digital panels, or touch controls) let you choose how hot each burner or oven gets. Some advanced models have thermostats to maintain steady, precise temperatures.
